SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16
U.S.C. 703-711) and the Fish and
Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742d)
designate the Department of the Interior
as the key agency responsible for (1) the
wise management of migratory bird
populations frequenting the United
States, and (2) setting hunting
regulations that allow appropriate
harvests that are within the guidelines
that will allow for those populations’
well-being. These responsibilities
dictate that we gather accurate data on
various characteristics of migratory bird
harvest. We use the knowledge attained
by determining harvests and harvest
rates of migratory game birds to regulate
populations (by promulgating hunting
regulations) and to encourage hunting
opportunity, especially where crop
depredations are chronic and/or lightly-
harvested populations occur. Based on
information from harvest surveys, we
can adjust hunting regulations as
needed to optimize harvests at levels
that provide a maximum of hunting
recreation while keeping populations at
desired levels.
Under the Migratory Bird Harvest
Program, State licensing authorities
collect the name and address
information needed to provide a sample
frame of all licensed migratory bird
hunters. Since Federal regulations
require that the States collect this
information, we are including the
associated burden in our approval
request to OMB. We propose to combine
three surveys in this IC because the
surveys are interrelated and/or
dependent upon each other:
